The ultimate impact of climate change on human systems will depend on the natural
resilience of ecosystems on which societies rely as well as on adaptation measures taken by …

Abstract White maize in South Africa is the only staple crop produced on a widespread
commercial basis for direct human consumption using genetically modified (GM) cultivars …

Cover crop** has the potential to improve resilience of agriculture to climate‐change‐
induced extreme weather events. However, rigorous quantitative evidence on the resilience …

We estimate the impact of genetically modified (GM) crops on countrywide yields, harvested
area, and trade using a triple-differences rollout design that exploits variation in the …

Reasons behind food loss can be very specific for each product and supply chain stage but
it is also affected by factors independent of the product and stage. This work focuses on such …

Predictions of future food supply under climate change rely on projected crop yield trends,
which are typically based upon retrospective empirical analyses of historical yield gains …

Probability distributions of crop yields are important for understanding technological change,
the effects of weather on crop production, and production risk. It can be difficult to model …

Relative agricultural productivity shocks emerging from climate change will alter regional
cropland use. Land allocations are sensitive to crop profits that in turn depend on yield …

Soil acidity is one of the major soil-degradation events throughout the world, and the long-
term application of nitrogenous fertilizers is thought to be a main cause of soil acidity. In the …

The conventional wisdom that technological advances in seed breeding and genetic
modification of corn traits have lowered yield risk has recently been challenged by research …
